Re: Dog breeding

[(Anonymous)]

I always find it hilarious when humans, of all species, complain that there are too many *insert any other species here*.

Re: Dog breeding

[(Anonymous)]

Even one mosquito is too many.

Why do you hate the bottom layer of the food chain? Or rather, why do you hate life on earth? If you get rid of the mosquitoes then a huge swathe of wildlife which depend on them and their larva as food sources will die of starvation and go extinct. And then so will the animals who depend on the previous set of animals, all the way up to humanity itself.

Lol yes, that's why there's no life at all on Iceland.

Re: Dog breeding

[(Anonymous)]

There's life on Iceland and plenty of mosquitos.

Maybe you should have googled first. http://icelandreview.com/news/2013/06/27/no-mosquitoes-iceland-puzzles-scientists

Re: Dog breeding

They still have biting black flies which share the same ecological niche and function. The article admits that. It doesn't change the fact that across the globe a massive chunk of the ecosystem is dependent on mosquitoes for food.

Re: Dog breeding

[(Anonymous)]

Soooo... duh, something else would fill the niche.

Re: Dog breeding

[(Anonymous)]

Eventually yes. But for the several hundred years (minimum) until something did, the rest of the ecosystem would be collapsing like never before seen.

Jeez, why do you "something else will come along" guys never consider length of time that eventually part takes? Whether it is ecology or economy, the damage between the old vanishing and new appearing is real.

Hoo boy, if I were to talk about all my opinions on the human population, I'd make a ton of people angry. Don't ever suggest people should stop having kids.

If humans were to suddenly disappear, I'd think the only animals who might have a problem with that would be some (not all) domesticated ones, ie. the ones who cannot function in the wild. Otherwise, Earth as a whole probably would not care that we are gone.

Sparrows, starlings, and bluetits would suffer huge population crashes. Watervoles would probably go extinct in the UK as it is only human intervention to cull invasive american mink that escaped from fur farms that is keeping watervoles hanging on. That is just the UK. There would be more, but our driven grouse and intensive farming industries have already crashed many animal and bird populations.

There are also some species of migrating cranes who have shifted their migration routes to human based feeding stations in deserts.

There are lots of animals which now depend on us for their survival. They've adapted to us as if we were a natural force.

We do need to control our numbers, and that sadly means targeting some of the more populous nations and regions for that population reduction down to about half our current numbers, but totally extinct (at least in terms of a quick extinction) would be massively damaging for the ecosystem too.

Re: Dog breeding

[(Anonymous)]

Targeting highly populated areas and countires would be part of it, but so would lowering the standard of living/per capita carbon footprint in a lot of Western nations. Like, one person in the US uses the same resources as a whole bunch of people in parts of India.

Re: Dog breeding

The places that are most densely populated with humans in this world tend to use significantly fewer natural resources. The "rich" countries that use the most are not overpopulated.
